Never touch Eldmia Egga - Episode 386

Without taking my hand off the sword handle, I looked at the human bomb in front of me and thought about it for a while before belatedly understanding the situation..

Although he is a human with a few screws missing from his head, Teneashi has no prejudice against demon gods and completely trusts in the effectiveness of the holy law that distinguishes lies. As a result, you can give out such strange answers without any hesitation..

In the first place, it is contradictory to consider the possibility of threatening the hero when the demon champion does not believe that he will unconditionally help the demon king. If you think about it that way, everyone in the world is a potential hero slayer. However, it would be absurd to assume that I did not come here because I was convinced that I might threaten Siegfried, but simply believed in the Holy Law and came to check whether there was a 'possibility' of that happening or not..

I don't know what mechanism it operates on, but it must have demonstrated a near-perfect hit rate in reading the other person's sincerity. That's why I'm doing this damn thing, and that's why, at the time of the conversation, I said to St. Teneasi, 'It might be like this.' Same assumptions become meaningless.

Since we've talked about it, I know for sure that it won't happen..

It was a sensation that I could never understand... but it was meaningless for me to think about it since I couldn't even understand the world of feeling mana and auras and guessing their strengths and weaknesses. I was momentarily drained of energy and feeling helpless, but then Teneasi carefully took out something and handed it to me..

His attitude was strangely timid and gave off a hint of being truly sorry, so I unconsciously wanted to punch him..

"I'll give you this as an apology for my rudeness just now.."

"This ends up being an expression of rudeness... haha, what is this again??"

When I received it, I found that I was holding three items that looked like glass beads wrapped in some kind of elaborate silver craft. There was something shiny inside, but I couldn't tell what it was. When I looked at him with a gaze demanding an explanation, Teneash looked embarrassed, scratched the back of his head, and said:.

It was also a strangely embarrassing attitude, so I got irritated for a moment. There was no longer any tension in her..

"It's a kind of potion created by gathering my divine power. It does not use holy water as a medium, but rather a condensation of the divine power itself, so it can be used at any time as long as the holy object protecting the outside is not damaged.."

Her explanation really started to make me think. Even if she is crazy, a saint is a saint. If it were a specially processed potion made by Tennessee City, it would be no better than a blue potion..

"How effective is it??"

"If you don't die, you can save it....?"

I sighed deeply when I saw that the silver had disappeared from Teneacy's eyes..

It is understandable that he was prepared to sacrifice his life to protect his precious people. If something similar happened to me, I would have thought a lot about it. However, I did not threaten Siegfried's life, but on the contrary, I helped him, and it was a clear leap of faith to try to repay him by committing suicide..

If I had tried to kill him, I would have had several chances. Needless to say, it is Tenea City's fault for forgetting and skipping all that due to a moment of anxiety..

It may seem similar to what I've done so far, but I can swear to you that I've never done anything like this to anyone who helped me in my fucking life..

That's why you can't just ignore it. At least you have to pay for your reckless behavior. So I was worried, but they gave me something like this, so I didn't have to worry anymore..

"It should be like that.."

That's why I instantly exploded the magic power in my body and used the acceleration I gained to draw my sword..

The nerves that were already on edge were strengthened by magical power, to the point that even blinking Teneasi's eyes without realizing it was seen in slow motion..

And in that split second, the tip of the sword, free from its scabbard, swung towards her neck..

"uh...?"

With her eyes wide open, Tenneasi didn't have time to panic or react properly when blood spurted out from the carotid artery on the left side of her neck..

◈

Generally, the religious potions made are based on holy water. It has the efficacy of healing wounds when applied and healing internal injuries when drunk, as claimed by pseudo-drug dealers, but it is only an acceleration of recovery and cannot recreate what has been lost..

For example, blood drained from the body. Therefore, no matter how many potions you have, you cannot fight by drinking them like water..

What makes the difference there is the quality of the potion. The structure itself for using the body's recovery power is the same, but the difference is how efficiently it recovers without burdening it. Furthermore, they are divided into levels based on whether they can completely recover as if they had received the healing method..

In that sense, blue potions belong to the upper class..

The reason it is not the highest quality is because it cannot match the effectiveness of the highest quality potions produced by each religious order. They are items that are almost in the realm of miracles, so there are only a few of them, but they are so effective that they can be called tier 0, so even wizards who make blue potions do not raise any objections. However, it has the advantage of being able to preserve the effect semi-permanently and has sufficiently excellent recovery ability, so it can be said to be the highest grade among premiums..

Even if the performance of the item that Tennessee gave me was as good as that, it would be enough to resolve this situation. After making her judgment, the sword she swung cut off her carotid artery without a single error..

The wound is shallow. Of course, if left alone, it will die within a dozen seconds. The saintess belatedly noticed the blood rushing from her neck to her pulse and instinctively stopped it with her hand, looking at me with her trembling eyes. Those eyes were shining silver, unlike before..

It was not a healing method to treat the problem, but a lie detector method..

Thanks to this, I was confident in the hypothesis that she was just relying on the lie detector test, and I explained briefly and quickly as I sheathed the sword..

"It's a warning."

I didn't believe that you would fully understand my intention with just that one word. He just said it because he just needed to know that I wasn't planning on killing him right now. Then, to her bewilderment, Tennessee took one of her beads that she had handed her near her neck, and then she asked a belated question..

"But how do you use this??"

Teneasi's eyes, which were moving back and forth as if he was thinking about what I said and did, quickly regained their stability. As expected, she didn't seem to be very tactful, as she lived as a saint of a religious order that was considered virtuous..

"...Hee, if you hold it with strength."

"The structure is such that the craftwork breaks the glass and activates. understand."

It's good because there's less risk of hurting your hands. I crunched my marbles faster than Tennessee could nod in agreement with my muttering..

A huge halo of light! And it didn't spread. If I had to compare it, it was closer to a silvery, sparkling fog. At the same time, I felt the marble in my hand slowly disappearing, as if it was dissolving into fog..

"Is this... the realm of power??"

"First of all, she’s a saint.."

It was a crazy conversation. It wasn't something he would say after cutting his carotid artery with his own hands and healing it, nor was it an answer he could give calmly after being treated like that. But Tennessee, as if he already understood what I was trying to do, remained calm and lowered his hand from the carotid artery he was blocking without showing any hostility..

And it seems that the source of his calm was his confidence in the bead potion. In fact, I was secretly amazed by the power of the saint whom I had encountered in person for the first time..

Isn’t the expression ‘outstanding effect’ meant to be used in situations like this?.

"Can anyone do it??"

"Not really.."

The blood that spurted out disappears. But that doesn't mean it goes back to her neck again. However, it was clear what the blood disappearing during the wound healing process meant..

"It's like rewinding time.."

It is unknown what process she goes through, but her healing techniques even restore human blood. Well, it's the realm of power..

"...How amazing. Zeke also expressed similar sentiments.."

Thanks to this, I, who had planned to spend the afternoon cleaning up the blood, was able to nod my head in satisfaction while looking at the clean professor's office and her neck. With this level of performance, you can avoid death twice, so it is a level of extenuating circumstances. That's why I informed them as calmly as possible..

"I don't care how much the saintess relies on the warrior or how much importance she places on him. However, don't forget that if you do something like this again based on trivial suspicions, even if you end up being struck by lightning from the Light of Light, it won't go down as smoothly as this time. It was an action that could have been the reason why the very existence of a saint made me antagonize the hero.."

Tennessee didn't show any obvious behavior, such as getting angry at me, glaring at me, or staring at me. Instead, she hesitated again as if nothing had happened and just bowed down and apologized again and again. I frowned at that screwed-up attitude, but I just waved my hand and sorted it out..

"I really wonder what kind of mind-boggling pain this is... So, are you done with your business??"

"ah! My business is finished, but there is still business that the princess asked me to do.."

oh my god. I guess she's really crazy.

Even though you were prepared to commit suicide together with me, you accepted a favor for when things ended safely? It was the moment when my evaluation of the Imperial Spiritual Assembly saint within me clearly changed from a half-hearted timid person to a true yandere psychopath..

Siegfried is the saint you chose. I don’t know, so just hold on to your evil spirit..
